JANUARY 2012 — Camp Courageous — www.campcourageous.org

I have always believed in the saying, 
“the more you give, the more it comes back 
to you many times over.”  The Bureshs 
have been extremely hard workers, and as 
a result of that hard work they have shared 
their success with many over the years.  
Ernie & Joanne had great role models 
and friends in Howard and Margaret Hall.  
Howard and Joanne both had their roots 
here in Jones County (Onslow).  Now 
Ernie and Joanne Buresh have lled those 
shoes by becoming wonderful role models 
for the next generation.
 Long-time supporters of Camp 
Courageous, I remember Dr. Earl DeShaw 
and I visiting with Ernie about the camp’s 
perpetual  fund  in  Ernie’s Anamosa  ofce 
in the early 80s.  Ernie and Joanne were 
among the rst to jump on board and have 
been believers and supporters of the camp 
ever since.  They understand what a thrill it 
is for campers with special needs to attend 
Camp Courageous, and how, for most, it is 
the highlight of their year. 
I have personally treasured their 
friendship and the special times we have 
spent together over the years.  They are 
a wonderful couple and have raised a 
beautiful family.  Being somewhat of a 
history buff, I could sit for hours and enjoy 
the rst hand experiences the Bureshs have 
had with the Halls and other great leaders in 
the area.  An absolutely fascinating couple!
The Buresh’s have given a major gift 
to The Greater Cedar Rapids Community 
Foundation  to  benet  Camp  Courageous 
forever. In return, they want nothing.  Ernie 
is always quick to tell me, “save the forty-
four cents, no need to send a thank-you.”  
But somehow, what they have done for 
Camp  Courageous  is  difcult  to  put  into 
words, and can never be thanked enough.
Our heart felt appreciation goes out to 
Ernie and Joanne Buresh and their children, 
Wendy S. Buresh, M.D. and Sandra Buresh 
for helping make the future of Camp 
Courageous very bright for thousands 
of campers with special needs and their 
families.

of Leo Greco.
Thank you to Eric Zangerle, pictured with his

Beautiful job!
Memorial dedicated for Leo Greco
This fall a memorial stone and tree were placed at Camp Courageous 
for Honorary Board Member and radio personality Leo Greco. They are 
located between the camp’s lodge and ofce buildings. The stone reads, 
“In Memory of our Friend, Leo Greco,” and has a verse of The Little Red 
Wagon on it, along with a picture of a little red wagon.

huge  thank  you  to  Bill  Leichsenring  for 
hosting  a  wonderful  benet  for  Camp 
Courageous in honor of Leo Greco's 90th 
Birthday.  Leo,  along  with  many  others, 
had  planned  this  special  occasion since 
Leo's 89th birthday. Unfortunately Leo did 
not quite make it but he wanted the benet 
to go on.  Bill raised $7,000 to go toward a 
new lift for camp's indoor therapeutic pool!

Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who 
start cooking sausage before the sun comes 
up for the camp breakfasts.  Super group!
The  Masons  of  Iowa  have  been  wonderful 
supporters  of  the  camp  for  many  years...
going back to the beginning of camp with Tait 
Cummins.  Here  are  three  past  and  present 
Grand Masters of Masons in Iowa. (L-R) Craig 
Davis (2010), current G.M. Jerry L. Levay, and 
Denny Zahrt (2006).  Denny recently received 
the Camp’s Trail Blazer Award for his endless 
dedication to the camp.  Special thank you to 
William (Bill) Crawford, the Grand Secretary, 
who is always working hard for the benet of 
the Lodge, Camp Courageous, and others.
Members  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Iowa  and 
their spouses assisted with the Fall Pancake 
Breakfast.    They  have  been  long  time 
supporters  of  the  camp  nancially  and  as 
volunteers.    Recently  deceased  Honorary 
Board  Member  Tom  Eggleston  was  Grand 
Master  of  Masons  In  Iowa  and  the  Grand 
Secretary for many years.
Camp  Open  Houses/Breakfasts  can  be  a 
great  opportunity  to  reunite.    (L-R)  Camp's 
Vice  President,  Winnie  Williams;  Secretary, 
Margo Ahrendsen;  Honorary  Board  Member 
and former camp Board Member, Helen Watts 
of Dubuque; and Board Member, Mag Welter.

Member  Dan  Vorhies.  Camp  Courageous 
has been blessed to have just an exceptional 
group  of  board  members  who  have  set  the 
camp on the beautiful road it has traveled.
A big thank you to the Two Rivers Good Sams 
for  attending  all  the  camp  breakfasts/open 
houses.    They  are  also  great  supporters  of 
camp, and  provide  a  labor  of  love  with  their 
stocking hats and head bands they make for 
campers.
It was an honor to have Fr. Tom Welu (L) visit 
camp for the breakfast.  Here Fr. Tom is with 
Frank  Balvanz  from  WMT.    Frank  was  Leo 
Greco's co-pilot for many  years.   Leo would 
generally start off his show with a hymn, often 
for  his  good  friend,  Fr.  Tom.  10-months  out 
of  the  year  Tom  is  in  the  Philippines  where 
he cares for the poorest who are in need of 
medical  attention  and  other  needs.  Camp 
Courageous  updates  can  continue  to  be 
heard on Sundays at 8:30 AM and 12:30 PM 
on WMT-AM 600 on the dial.
Thank you to Cari  Campbell and Associates 
from  Dubuque  for  volunteering  for  camp's 
breakfast.    Back  row:    Chef  Dennis  Bayne;

Thank  you  to  Rachel  Krebs  of  Durant 
who  collects  pop  can  tabs  for  the  Shriners 
Transportation  Fund  and  she  collects  the 
pop  cans  for  Camp  Courageous.    She  then 
cashes  in  the  cans  and gives  the  money  to 
camp.   A  lot  of  hard  work  went  into  raising 
over $500!  Rachel juggles all this with school 
and  work...we  are  grateful  to  her,  and  her 
family have helped for years.
Pancake Breakfast & Open House 
Thank you to all the volunteers and visitors that made it a big success!
Fr. Tom Welu, whose home was in Dubuque 
and is now in the Philippines, is surrounded by 
boxes of sports memorabilia he has donated 
to  camp  in  memory  of  Leo  Greco.  He  has 
asked  that  the  money  raised  from  the  sale 
of  his  collection  go  to  provide  for  the  most 
severely  and  profoundly  disabled  campers 
in  Leo’s  memory.  The  money  raised  will  be 
set-up in perpetuity in the Camp’s Foundation 
thus  helping  campers  forever.  (L-R)  Fr.  Tom 
Welu, Lance Greco, Bill Sterling, Mike Marlin, 
and Larry Greco.

2011 Holiday Parties 
a big hit with Youth & Adults 
at Camp Courageous
2011 Holiday Parties 
a big hit with Youth & Adults 
at Camp Courageous
The decorated Camp Courageous 
lodge was the setting of the 2011 
Annual Holiday Parties held on 
December 7th and 8th. Hundreds 
of area school students, staff, and 
group home residents attended this 
year’s festivities.
Youth party attendees enjoyed 
swimming, the wall climb, mini-
golf, arts and crafts, nature center 
activities, and more. Santa made 
his appearance during all the parties 
and everyone went away with a gift 
and a smile.
The New Horizons Band 
performed during the adult party. 
A huge thank you to those that 
donated gifts… they really made 
the event special. The camp also 
appreciates all of the volunteers 
who helped with gift wrapping, 
assisted with bringing people to 
the parties, and helped during the 
event. They are what make these 
parties possible.
Students enjoyed singing along with holiday 
songs. The line was long to get a chance at a 
turn with the microphones.
Some students had the opportunity to make 
holiday  ornaments  in  the  camp’s  Arts  & 
Crafts building. They were able to take them 
home and put them on their own trees.
The  Nature  Center  was  popular  with  the 
students  as  they  were  able  to  get  up  close 
with the animals.
Everyone had a chance to meet with Santa 
and  Mrs.  Claus  to  tell  them  their  holiday 
wishes before receiving a gift.

In October 2011 GE Capital’s 
People with Disabilities Network 
hosted an event they called 
“Paper-trails From GE to Camp 
Courageous.” During a week-long 
event they competed between 
teams for highest total of items and 
most creative display of packages.
As you can see in these photos… 
they did a great job!
In the end, GE was able to donate 453,138 
items of paper plates, cups, napkins, plastic 
utensils, Kleenex, paper towels, toilet paper, 
copy paper and baby wipes.
A  great  big  thanks  to  Randy  Faulkner  for 
picking the items up and bringing them to the 
camp.

Huge thanks goes out to the 8th grade class 
from Mt. Vernon Middle School. The teachers 
have  made  it  a  tradition  for  the  students  to 
come  and  do  service  at  camp  1-2  times  a 
year. This fall the students worked very hard 
doing  some  clean-up  at  the  lake  area  and 
stocking up the wood sheds for winter. They 
collected  several  large  piles  of  rocks  and 
sticks from the grassy areas of what will be 
Lake Todd. Thanks again MVMS 8th graders 
and teachers!
You can see the latest updates and 
changes to the Lake Todd area during

Thank  you  to  Roy  Tangeman,  Faithful 
Navigator,  for  inviting  Camp  Courageous  to 
give a program to the Fr. John R. Gallagher 
Assembly  3180  of  4th  Degree  Knights 
(Marion,  Anamosa,  &  Central  City).    Fr. 
Gallagher  donated    40-acres  of  land,  that 
was  land-locked  and  was  later  traded  with 
the  State  of  Iowa,  for  what  today  is  Camp 
Courageous.  Wonderful  Knights  and  their 
ladies.
Theisen's  employee  Connie  Like  presented 
Becky  Melchert  from  Camp  Courageous  a 
check from  the Theisen's  Community  Grant 
Program.  This generous check will be used 
for camp's  Lake Todd fence.  A big thank you 
goes to Theisens for this grant and the many 
donations they make throughout the year.
This  Anamosa  business  class  held  a  fund 
raiser  to  benet  ve  area  charities—Camp 
Courageous was among  them! They held  a 
pie  throwing  contest.  Students  paid  for  the 
privilege  to  throw  pies  at  school  celebrities.  
Camp  Courageous  board  member  Winnie 
Williams  was  presented  a  check  from  the 
group and  said  they  were  a  delightful  class 
of  students.  Shown  (L-R)  are  Taryn  Eilers, 
Kenyon Haverly, Josh Schulte, Evan Wilson, 
camp  Board  Member  Winnie  Williams, 
Holly  Barnes,  Erin  Taylor,  and  Johannes 
Lindermann.  Thank you!
This  group  of  respite  campers  had  a  great 
time  dressing  up,  playing  games,  and 
dancing  during  a  Halloween  costume  party 
provided  by  the  volunteer  counselors  from 
the  Northeast  Iowa  Community  College 
nursing  program.  Instructor  Mary  Hoeger 
brought another awesome group of students 
to help the campers throughout the weekend. 
They also brought along some much needed 
donations from the needs list. Thanks to Mary 
and all the  students. The students  included 
Scott  Krohn,  Ashley  Bryson,  Amanda 
Renne,  Shannon  Chambers,  Vicki  Jones, 
Karla Welch, Ashley Sternhagen, Stephanie 
Taake,  Rachel  Keppler,  Ron  Powers,  Tara 
Fulin, and Greg Tuthill. 
Thank you to Ralph Palmer 
and Sandy Young from The 
Ar-Jay Center for hosting 
a Cupcake War, with all 
proceeds going to Camp 
Courageous! It was a huge 
success! We are grateful to all 
those who participated, the bakers, the judges, the promoters, and all 
who came to sample. A good time was had by all!
There were so many creative entires in this event! It was difcult for the judges to come 
up with  clear  winners,  but in the  end  some  awards were given.  Congratulations  to Abby 
Wennekamp and Jenny Hemmes as the Grand Champions with their entry of a Peppermint 
Mocha Cupcake with infused peppermint extract and a delicious peppermint, vanilla butter 
cream icing. On top of that were chocolate shavings, chocolate covered espresso beans and 
a cute little peppermint stick. YUMMY!  Mary Oldham won the People’s Choice with her entry 
of a Strawberry Orange Margarita cupcake with a lime butter cream icing and a sugar rim.
Thank you to Jim Gommels and  Dave from 
the Iowa City Morning Quarterback Club for 
saving plasticware for the camp.  Camp goes 
through a lot in a year!
Camp  has  recently  become  the  home  of 
Pixie,  a  Mini  Rex  rabbit  donated  by  Emily 
Bray  of  Clinton,  Iowa.  Emily  also  donated 
this wonderful hutch that she built. Pixie has 
a sweet  disposition and  is doing well  in her 
new home. Thanks, Emily for thinking of our 
campers for your generous donation!

The 3rd annual “Walkin & Wheelin' 
for Camp Courageous” was held 
on Saturday November 12, 2011 at 
Westdale Mall. Once again campers, 
their families, group homes, schools, 
and supporters of camp joined 
together for a morning of walking and 
fun. The walkers were entertained by 
the sounds of the Pandemonium Steel 
Drum from Dubuque, games led by 
camp program staff, music from DJ 
Ben Bollwitt, and various mascots 
from the area including “McGruff the 
Crime Dog.”  Prizes for the 1st and 
2nd teams raising the most money was 
awarded after walking.  Camp would 
especially like to thank Westdale 
Malle and the Soroptomist Club of 
Cedar Rapids for helping with the set-
up on Friday night, volunteering at the 
walk and helping with the clean up. 
This year's event was a great success 
and camp appreciated the efforts of all 
who participated.  
Walk participant Zach Bollwitt is  entertained 
by  “McGruff  the  Crime  Dog”  and  several 
Camp  Courageous  staff  members.    The 
counselors  and  program  staff  always  enjoy 
having  Zach  at  camp  and  was  delighted 
when  he  attended  the  walk.    Shown  with 
Zach is McGruff, volunteer Megan Wessels, 
and  program  staff  members  Kristin  Farrar, 
Megan Alara, Jess Maier, and Tracey Koch.  
For the 3rd year in a row, the Pandemonium 
Steele Drum band entertained the walkers at 
“Walkin’  &  Wheelin’  for  Camp  Courageous” 
event.  Under the direction of Patti Millius, this 
band travels from Dubuque just to take part in 
the walk.  Their music is always appreciated 
and so much fun!  
2011 Walkin’ & Wheelin’ for Camp Courageous
It was wonderful to see this large team from 
Taft Middle School in Cedar Rapids.  Students, 
teachers  and  families  showed  their  support 
of camp and their school by participating and 
wearing Taft and Camp Courageous apparel.  
Taft students have been to many day camps 
and other camp events and functions.  Camp 
certainly appreciates their support!
Placing  second  at  this  years  event  was 
“Team  Rachel.”  Camper  Rachel  Sunne,  the 
daughter of David and Julie Sunne, has been 
a  respite  and  week-long  camper  for  many 
years.  Rachel's  family  and  friends  are  big 
supporters of the camp. Rachel was awarded 
an iPod Shufe for her team's efforts coming 
in 2nd place. Great job Team Rachel!
This  year’s  rst  place  team  at  “Walkin’  & 
Wheelin’”  was  “Team  Megan.”  This  team 
consisted  of  family  and  friends  of  camper 
Megan  Staner.  Megan's  team  showed  a 
tremendous amount of generosity and 
support  for  camp,  and  for  their  efforts  they 
received a certicate good for a pool, pizza, 
and  pop  party  at  the  Camp  Courageous 
Pool.  This  is  the  second  time  Megan  took 
home  the  1st  place  award.  Many  thanks  to 
Megan’s parents Don and Angie Staner from 
Edgewood and the entire team.

their  Knights  of  Columbus  and  their  ladies. 
We  met  in  the  new,  beautiful  Jesus  Christ,

of  campers.  Camp  Courageous  would  be 
happy to give a program to any group, at any 
time, at no charge. Drop camp an e-mail or 
note or call if you are interested.
Rick  Cook  and  Tom  Brennan  with  the

Rick and Tom for taking time out of their busy 
lives to deliver the check.

John Veith and Mark Fitzpatrick.
(L-R)  Camp’s  Travel  Director,  Rolando

key community for camp’s success over the 
years.
Thank you to Pat

For many  years, camp has  loaned  much of 
our  cross  country  ski  equipment  to  Special 
Olympics  Iowa  for  use  at  the  State  Winter 
Games  competition  in  January.  Over  the 
years,  wear  and  tear  has  taken  some 
equipment  out  of  commission.  This  year, 
we  hoped  to  replace  about  a  dozen  sets 
of  skis,  poles  and  boots.  Thanks  to  Darrin 
Siefken,  owner  of  CrawDaddy  Outdoors  in 
Waverly,  and  Pam  Wagner,  VP  of  Games 
and Competition for Special Olympics Iowa, 
we were able to make it happen. Darrin was 
able  to  give  us  a  great  discount  and  Pam 
was able  to  secure the funds  needed.  Both 
campers and Special Olympics athletes will 
really enjoy using this great new equipment 
when the snow is ying! 
Thank you to camp board member, Jim Foels, 
for inviting  Camp  Courageous  to  attend  the 
Ruritan Tall Corn District Convention in Pekin, 
Iowa.  It  was  a  great  opportunity  to  rekindle 
many memories and friendships. It was at a 
Ruritan convention, many years ago, that we 
met  Honorary  Camp  Board  Member  Ralph 
Palmer, who was their motivational speaker. 
(Front  L-R)  is  Lt.  Governor,  Rusty  Clayton; 
District  Governor,  Joe  Morgan;  and  emcee, 
Robert Wonderlich. We thank all the Ruritan 
Clubs for their support!
The  Newhall  Lions  had  a  special  memorial 
breakfast  for  long  time  member,  and  dear 
friend  of  Camp  Courageous,  Richard 
Grovert.  It  was  a  great  opportunity  to  visit 
with Richard's family (L-R) Cathy Kilawee (3-
in); Bob Grovert (middle with glasses), Jane 
Hagen (far right), and community members. 
Richard  touched  many  lives  in  a  wonderful 
way.
The  Loyal  Workers  and  Friends  from  the 
Stanwood  area  once  again  made  a  trip  to 
camp to volunteer on a late October morning. 
These ladies have been coming to camp to 
work for many years and have done a variety 
of tasks including mailings and cleaning. This 
year  they  spent  the  morning  wrapping  gifts 
for the Camper's Holiday Parties. In addition 
to  working,  they  brought  several  beautiful 
quilts and other much  needed items.  It was 
wonderful to see them again. Thanks Ladies!
Theresa  Hansen  from  DeWitt    (3rd  right) 
stopped  by  with  friends  for  a  tour  of  camp.  
They brought many wonderful items  that can 
be used throughout the camp.
Marilyn  Mehlhaus  from  Dysart  has  been 
extremely busy!  She handcrafted 6 beautiful 
quilts from colorful and seasonal fabric and 
donated  them  to  camp.    The  campers  will 
surely love these quilts.  Thank you so much 
Marilyn for the quilts and for delivering them 
to camp.  
Camp Courageous was honored to have the 
2011 Class of the Jones County Leadership 
participants out to camp for their rst session. 
A  super  nice  group  of  current  and  future 
Jones County leaders.
Camper  Mary  Ellen  Webster  from 
Davenport,  IA  had  a  great  time  petting 
and  riding  camp's  newest  horse,  Max.  
She is pictured showing off her award.
Camper  Kenneth  Griggs  of  Davenport, 
IA  and  counselor  Stacey  Patterson  of 
Harrisburg,  NC  smile  for  the  camera.  
Kenneth  is  a  great  conversationalist  and 
had the counselors laughing all week long!  
He loves telling stories.  
Camper Alex Heller of Woodward, IA and 
counselor  Heather  Williams  of  Redding, 
CA show off Alex's swimming award.  Alex 
loved kicking back and relaxing in camp's 
indoor  pool.    Alex  has  been  coming  to 
camp since he was 4 years old.

Please consider designating 
Camp Courageous as your 
agency of choice #1107
Thank you to Max Dirks of Scotch 
Grove, Iowa for being so willing to help 
camp out with hay as it was needed for 
the fall season. Max was always ready 
to jump right in his tractor to deliver 
hay for camp's horses. Thank you so 
much, Max, for your willingness to lend 
a helping hand!

Marginal Note: 
Some of the world’s greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible.
This donation 
is in honor of Bill 
and Helen Kline’s 
50th wedding 
anniversary, and 
in memory of 
their daughter 
Deb Kline. Deb 
attended Camp 
Courageous for many years of her 
life. She loved having a place where 
she felt like she was like everyone 
else.  Going to Camp Courageous 
was her favorite thing to do and 
she talked about her time there and 
anticipation of her next visit almost 
every day. Deb passed away in 2000 
and our family feels strongly that she 
lived such a full life, in large part 
to the joy she experienced at Camp 
Courageous.
Our family holds Camp Courageous 
very near and dear to our hearts. We 
Thank you for all of the hard work 
everyone does and the joy they bring to 
so many people’s lives.
Sincerely,
Jackie Duncan (Deb’s Niece)

Marginal Note: When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.
Consider applying for a volunteer, 
internship or paid position at Camp 
Courageous this Summer! Working with 
children and adults with special needs is 
often a very real challenge. Campers may 
need help with personal care including 
feeding, dressing and personal hygiene. 
Some campers exhibit behavior challenges. 
Patience, energy, good judgment, and 
enthusiasm are  important qualications  for 
a position at Camp Courageous. 
Positions available in program, dietary, 
and nursing. The hours are long.   An 
unselsh  attitude  and  an  emphasis  on 
teamwork are needed. If you have the 
necessary attributes, apply for a position at 
camp. Room and board is provided. Non-
smokers only.

18 JANUARY 2012 — Camp Courageous — www.campcourageous.org
Hi my name is Clinton 
Modinger… In the 
summer of 2005 I came 
from Australia to Camp 
Courageous to work as a 
camp counsellor. I believe 
that Camp Courageous is a 
place where you can witness 
real magic happen.
This can be seen by the 
love and respect the staff 
at Camp Courageous have 
for their campers. Week 
after week these exceptional people improve the lives 
of people with a disability by allowing them to take 
some time away from their normal daily routines to 
participate in recreational and social activities. I am 
very proud to say I have worked for the camp. I have 
met some truly amazing people and I have been able 
to remain friends with some of those amazing people.
I returned to Camp Courageous earlier this month to 
be a part of a wedding of two former camp counsellors 
who I have a lot of respect and love for. Their wedding 
was just unreal and the weather was very kind to 
them which I have heard is rare for Iowa in October. 
They, like many other people who have been married 
after working at Camp Courageous, were touched by 
the magic of the camp. It brings people together and 
enables them to do amazing things and develop strong 
bonds with each other.
Being back at the camp for the rst time in 6 years 
was a wonderful experience for me. While I was there 
I witnessed a few camp counsellors working with their 
campers displaying the same level of love and respect 
for their campers that I have come to expect from 
counsellors at Camp Courageous.
If there is one thing I could say to the current group 
of camp counsellors it would be that you are all here 
because you are amazing people. Keep up the great 
work you do and welcome to the Camp Courageous 
family.
Thank you for reading my story and I hope that 
Camp can ll your hearts with pride like it has mine. 
I would love to come back and do another summer 
sometime and I hope that is sooner rather than later.
I wish everyone reading my story a Merry Christmas 
and a happy and safe 2012

If you are a federal employee, 
remember camp during this year’s
COMBINED FEDERAL 
CAMPAIGN.
camp courageous #11076
Camp is very fortunate to have had 70 
small square bales of hay donated by 
Ed, Sharon, Charlie and Christine Roller 
this past summer and fall. This hay 
helped to keep our miniature horses, 
goats, and lambs fed throughout the two 
camping seasons. Thanks so much for 
your much needed donation!

(L-R)  Counselor  Kevin  Rhodes  of  Barstow, 
CA  and  camper  Bob  Russell  of  Woodward, 
IA smile for the camera while enjoying all the 
animals in the nature center. During his week 
at camp he made a pinecone bird feeder and 
an edible  “campre” out of  licorice, pretzels, 
chocolate  covered  raisins,  and  bugles.  The 
best part was eating the creation!

Camp Courageous 
has been awarded a 
$20,000 grant from 
the Dubuque Racing Association. 
This grant was used for the 
installation of a fence surrounding the 
camp's lake property. The members 
of the DRA grant committee 
recognized the importance of this 
fence in keeping campers using 
the lake safe from the busy 190th 
Street  trafc  and  the  prevention  of 
injury by any unauthorized users of 
the lake. The DRA has worked with 
camp form many years by providing 
grants for projects including a bus 
and mini-bus, a water system for 
the camp, building the Jungle Gym, 
purchasing  debrillators,  furnishing 
the staff dorm, and purchasing ofce 
furniture for the visitor's center.

Marginal Note: Motivation is when your dreams put on work clothes.
Robert  Curoe,  85, 
formerly  of  Bernard, 
Iowa,  passed  away 
this  fall.  Bob  and  his 
wife, Joyce were great 
supporters of the camp. 
Bob  was  an  awfully 
nice  gentleman.  Very 
involved  in  attending 
camp  breakfasts, 
duathlons, and more.
Bob  &  Joyce  would 
have their children come in from all over 
the  US  to  attend  the  Camp”s  Duathlon 
and  then  have  a  family  reunion.  Just  a 
real  soft-spoken  gentleman.  One  of  the 
boys told me at Bob’s visitation that after 
62-years old, he  learned  to  ski  (was  on 
the  ski  patrol),  bike,  run,  published  two 
books, and a lot more.
Bob’s Camp Courageous “Courageous 
Award” Trophy was  front  and  center  on 
his  table  of  treasurers. 
Camp’s  sympathy  goes 
out  to  his  six  children, 
Michael  (Estie)  Curoe 
of  St.  Louis,  MO,  Joann 
(Devin)  Stephens  of 
St.  Onge,  SD,  Kevin 
(Darlene)  of  Bernard, 
Carol  (Susan)  of 
Minneapolis,  MN,  Patty 
(Steve)  Telgener  of 
Golden,  CO  and  Tim 
(Kristi) of Chaska, MN.
Thank you to Judy Blank who invited Camp 
Courageous  to  give  a  program  to  the  Beta 
Sigma  Phi  Preceptor  Lambda  in  Cedar 
Rapids.  A  super  nice  group  of  ladies,  who 
had  honored  Dotty  Cummins  a  number 
of  years  ago,  for  her  work  with  those  with 
special needs.
A  big  thank  you  to  (L-R)  Cody  Davis,  Sheri 
and Craig Lampe, and Taylor Young for their 
vehicle  load  of  needed  items  for  the  camp. 
Sheri,  Craig,  and  Taylor  were  volunteers  at 
camp this summer. It was like a mini-reunion 
with camp staff who all worked with the same 
campers. We look forward to seeing more of 
this group in the future!

at camp and received the Swimming Award.
Pictured  is  camper  Leo  Pettitt  from  Mt. 
Vernon, IA.  He and Paco, the ferret became 
great friends  his  week  at  camp.  Leo  also 
loved watching the turtles swim around their 
tank and catch their food.  There wasn't an 
activity he didn't enjoy or participate in!
Pictured (L-R) are counselor Kevin Rhodes 
of Barstow, CA and campers Troy Crane of 
Sigourney, IA,  Leo Pettit of Mt. Vernon,  IA

are  all  in  the  accessible  car  provided  by 
the  C.U.B.S.  bicycling  group  (Chicago 
Urban Bicycling Society).  Camp’s train is a 
camper favorite.
It  was  a  treat  to  have  Honorary  Board 
Member Gary Turbes and  his  wife Jan  visit 
Camp  Courageous.    Gary  was  Camp's  rst 
director.  His  incredible  dedication  and  hard 
work from about 1972-1976 was key to build-
ing the foundation from which the camp has 
grown.  Gary left camp and established Mid-
Step Services in  Sioux City.  They currently 
manage  over  20  residential  and  vocational 
programs  in  Cherokee,  Lawton,  Moville, 
Sergeant Bluff, and Sioux City IA.   He is also 
playing  a  key  role  in  the  building  of  Camp 
High Hope in Sioux City.
Super Volunteer Sheri Lampe of West Point, 
IA spent her winter break at camp doing many 
chores that needed attention.  From peeling 
apples  in  the  kitchen  to  hand  addressing 
Holiday Cards, Sheri was  a huge help.  We 
look forward to her and her husband Craig’s 
return this summer!

Six Chapters of the Iowa Winnie Hawks (All 
Winnebago Owners) came to camp  for a tour 
and  presented  camp  a  nice  donation. They 
were  a  wonderful  group!    Coming  from  all 
over  Iowa,  they  were  very  interested  in  the 
camp. Thank you to Louie Walderdach who 
was  the  contact.  Tours  are  available  seven 
days-a-week  and  can  be  arranged  through

With most of camp's copier 
needs done in house, the Camp 
Courageous copier has made 
nearly 1 million copies in it's 
lifetime. Many of those copies go 
to the over 6,000 individuals with 
special needs served at camp 
each year.
Each week-long camper receives an 
award at the end of their stay that has 
been designed by camp staff and printed 
on the copier.  The award ceremony is 
the culmination of an exciting week and 
is a highlight for most of the campers.  In 
addition, pages of med sheets and special 
diet sheets are printed each week and 
sometimes on a daily basis.
While camp is attempting to limit paper 
usage, most of the camper schedules and 
applications are printed using the camp 
copier.  Letters for camp supporters, and 
Camp Courageous in Need of a New Copier
booklets  and  yers  for  various 
fund raisers are also printed 
at camp, saving a tremendous 
amount of money by producing 
them at camp.  
Unfortunately, the current 
copier has become obsolete. It is 
slower and doesn't have the capabilities 
of newer technology offered today. It can 
no longer “talk” to the computers being 
operated at camp (software drivers are no 
longer being developed). This function 
allows  camp  to  be  more  efcient  and 
print/copy only as necessary. After much 
research and comparison shopping, camp 
is able to purchase a new machine at a 
price of  $9,960  plus  tax.  Please consider 
making a donation toward the purchase of 
a new copier.  This machine would serve 
the needs of camp and the campers served 
here for many years to come.

Thank  you  to  Destinations  Unlimited,  along 
with Lance and Leisa Greco for hosting the 
10th  Annual  Branson  Christmas  Getaway, 
a fund raiser for Camp Courageous.  Great 
shows,  food,  shopping,  and  great  folks!  
November 12-15, 2012 are the dates already 
scheduled  for  this  year,  which  is  arranged 
around Daniel O'Donnell's schedule.  Contact 
Lisa Gilliatt at Destinations Unlimited to book 
today at 800-391-1359.
Thank  you  to  Kenneth  &  Joan  Chaloupka 
of  Iowa  City  for  traveling  to  camp  with  the 
donation  of  over  60  scrapbooks  and  other 
needed items.  Wonderful couple.
Maxine Wilson, Joan Bartenhagen, and Betty 
Wilson with the Port Louisa Farm Bureau and 
the Island Methodist Church traveled from the 
Muscatine  area  to  deliver  a  large  donation. 
Included in this donation was numerous bags 
and boxes of paper, paper products, can tabs 
and  other  much  needed  items.  The  Island 
Methodist  Church  Women  were  also  very 
busy  the  past  year.  They  stitched  several 
beautiful quilts for the campers to enjoy. It is 
always  wonderful  to  have  these  ladies  visit 
camp and we hope they make it back soon.
Edna Pierce (seated) and Marian Mohr with 
the Cedar County Farm Bureau Ladies made 
a  wonderful  delivery  to  Camp  Courageous 
of  paper  products,  arts  and  crafts  supplies 
and can tabs. These ladies are familiar faces 
at  camp  as  they  have  been  volunteering 
for  many  years.    We  look  forward  to  them 
coming  again  in  the  spring  to  fold  camper 
T-shirts! Thanks ladies.
A  BIG  Thank  You  goes  out  to  Knights  of 
Columbus  Council  14987  in  Cedar  Falls, 
for  raising  money  from  their  Toosie  Roll 
Drive  and  donating  some  of  it  to  Camp 
Courageous.  Pictured  here  (L-R)  are  Eric 
Moellers,  Grand  Knight  and  Travis  Hoing, 
Deputy  Grand  Knight.  Back  in  2009  Eric 
helped build the accessible trail that leads to 
our cave. Thank  you  Gentlemen for  all  that 
you do for individuals with Special Needs.
Thank  you  to  all  who  have  contributed  to 
making the camp’s new horse cart possible. 
Camp  has  been  needing  an  accessible 
horse cart for quite some time and because 
of donations from the McDonald family from 
various states across the U.S, the Lux family 
of  Monticello,  and  2011’s  Summer  Camp 
Staff, we were nally able to put in the order 
to  Justin  Carriage  Company  of  Nashville, 
Michigan to have the cart special made and 
delivered for our program.

Congratulations  to  Sue  Gudenkauf  (center) 
who  recently  took  the  Consecration  as  a 
Virgin Living in the World.  The ceremony took 
place in Madison WI by the Most Reverend 
Robert C. Morlino, Bishop of Madison.  Those 
wishing  to  honor  Sue,  were  encouraged  to 
make a donation to Camp Courageous.  Sue 
(surrounded by  her  wonderful  folks  Gene & 
Anita of  Cascade)  was  one of camp’s most 
exceptional  counselor/assistant  respite  care 
directors.  She  was  extremely  good  with 
campers and had a real heart  for her  work.  
She started volunteering while in high school, 
and  volunteered  for  many  years.  We  wish 
Sue the best.
A very special thank you to camp’s dear 
friends,  Steve  Carpenter  (top  picture), 
formerly  of  WMT,  now  with  Kirkwood 
Community  College  and  Peter  Teahen, 
with Teahen Funeral Homes, for inviting 
Camp Courageous to the Cedar Rapids 
Daybreak Rotary.  Steve has been active 
with Camp Courageous since coming to 
Cedar Rapids in the early 80s.  His rst 
day, he took Rick Sellers, then, General 
Manager  of  WMT,  to  K-Mart  East  in 
Cedar  Rapids  to  promote  Pineapple 
Sales.  He  has  never  stopped  being  a 
loyal supporter  of Camp.   Peter Teahen 
has  a  wonderful  reputation  of  helping 
others  when  they  need  help  the  most.  
From  disasters  around  the  world....to 
disasters within our own family, Peter is 
there to help.  We have called on Peter 
a number of times throughout the camp's 
history to lend the camp staff some of his 
professional talents, and he has  always 
been there for us.  Our warm appreciation 
goes  out  to  the  members  of  the  Day 
Break Rotary for their support of camp! 
A  big  thank  you  to  our  friends  at  Alliant 
Energy  Foundation  for  their  great  support 
of the camp.  (L-R) Justin Mottet and Jason 
Sauer  recently  presented  a  check  from  the 
Foundation  to  be  used  for  the  fence  that 
surrounds the new lake area.  We are grateful 
for their years of support!

The Monticello 
area has lost an 
incredibly hard 
working and 
dedicated person 
with the recent 
passing of Rex 
Cheney.
My  rst 
impression of 
Monticello was 
Rex Cheney's Dairy Mart. I was part of 
a youth organization in the late 60s that 
traveled the state and it was a tradition 
to never go through Monticello without 
stopping at the Monticello Dairy Mart. 
Rex had a warm and fun personality 
and everyone in our group of dozens 
of kids, knew Rex. Many new cars had 
their rst spill in them, as a result of an 
ice cream cone bought from Rex.
In  1976,  when  I  student  taught  in 
Monticello, and money was extremely 
tight, it was a special treat once every 
week or two to get one of Rex's 
famous chocolate shakes to take to 
home to Dubuque or to school in Iowa 
City. I always knew I had a friend in 
Monticello I could call on at any time.
In 1980, when we moved to 
Monticello, Rex Cheney, Glen 
Gabriel, Bob Ferrell, and I would 
head to Anamosa once a month for 
meetings. I would laugh all the way 
over and all the way back as the 
jokes  and  teasing  would  just  ow....
incredible commardry. So many 
precious memories from a group that 
would help anyone in need.
I remember special occasions in the 
early 80s. Dinner would consist of a 
hamburger, chocolate shake, and onion 
rings from Rex... it didn't get any better 
than that.
Rex always gave 100% whether it 
was work, Lodge, Eagles, or Camp 
Courageous. He was a dear friend to 
the camp. There wasn't anything he 
would not do for it.
His sense of humor and personality 
will be dearly missed. Our sympathy 
goes out to his family and friends.

Thank you to Jones Regional Medical Center 
Auxiliary  who  held  their  October  meeting  in 
the Sill Barn at camp. We had the opportunity 
to  talk  about  the  wonderful  relationship 
between  JRMC  and  Camp  Courageous. 
To  have  a  modern,  state  of  the  art  medical 
center,  with  an  exceptional  staff,  within 
minutes  of  the  camp,  is  crucial  to  the  well 
being  of  thousands  of  campers,  staff,  and 
visitors. Above,  Eric  Briesemeister,  CEO  of 
JRMC, visits  with  the  auxiliary  on  the  latest 
happenings at the Medical Center.
Gary  Dolphin  (R)  shows  one  of  the  auction

Honorary  Board  Member,  Liz  Valliere

2nd  Wednesday  Bridge  Marathon  group. 
This group has been playing Bridge for camp 
for over 30 years! Members include Kay Pitlik 
and  also  included  Dotty  Cummins  at  one 
time. Liz is a delight!
Charlie,
I just wanted to thank you for the 
opportunity to meet one of your 
great board members, Jim Foels. The 
Chicago Urban Bicycling Society 
(CUBS) board elected me to replace 
Jerry Turry, and I know that I have 
some  awfully  big  shoes  to  ll.  But, 
meeting people like Jim and Elsie 
Foels makes all the work worthwhile. 
Jim was kind enough to donate a day 
on his farm, and I was crazy enough 
to outbid the competition. It helps 
when you get to be the auctioneer too. 
After winning, Jim and I made our 
arrangements, and I took two nervous 
“farmers” with me to spend the day. 
We could not have had a better time!
For our entire family, it will long be 
a day to remember. I can only hope 
that Jim donates this again next year, 
because I will sell it like mad at our 
2012 auction. I am enclosing some of 
the pictures of Albena, Nicole, and me 
at the farm.
We had an extra benet above what 
was part of our package as well. Jim’s 
son raises hogs at his farm, adjacent to 
Jim and Elsie’s farm. He took us there, 
and Nicole got to see that as well. 
Before we left town on our way home, 
we stopped at the locker to stock up on 
pork that had been raised on his farm. 
Not only do we have the memories, 
but we also have a freezer full of Iowa 
pork, raised by our new friends.
Thanks again. I look forward to 
another strong year of connection 
between CUBS and Camp.

Congratulations  to  LaVern  “Flute”  and  Jean 
Weber  of  Cascade  on  their  50th  wedding 
anniversary!  Flute  was  the  key  player  in 
the building of the new Lake Todd at Camp 
Courageous  and,  along  with  his  son,  Mark, 
has done a tremendous amount of volunteer 
work at the camp. The Webers had their entire 
family  to  Camp  for  the  Pancake  Breakfast/
Open House the last Sunday in September… 
a great family!
Thank  you  to  Linn-Mar  Success  Center 
Transition  Program  for  inviting  Camp 
Courageous to their Fall Open House.  Very 
impressive program! Our hats go off to Trish 
Chalupsky and the entire staff and students 
for their exceptional work!
Thanks  to  our  friends  from  Our  Savior 
Lutheran Church in Manchester. For several 
years the Junior Acts Youth Group has been 
coming to camp to do whatever work project 
we  need  done.  This  year  they  help pick  up 
debris  from  the  lake  area.  Huge  thanks  to 
the adult leaders Dawn &  Kenny  Miller  and 
Dave & Julie Sunne, as well as the youth who 
worked so hard.

Halloween is a Spooky 
Good Time at Camp!
Camp Courageous held it’s annual free camper 
Halloween Party on October 27th in the spooky main 
lodge. Campers, staff, and visitors had a great time 
during the dance and enjoyed refreshments.
During the event a costume contest was held. Judging 
wasn’t  easy  since  there  were  so  many  great  outts. 
Pictured are the winners.
The camp lodge once again was alive 
with the sights and sounds of callers and 
cuers, the swish and swirls of brightly 
colored dresses, and the men with their 
string or matching ties as the annual square 
dance  benet  for  Camp  Courageous  was 
held on October 9th. Sponsored by the 
East Central Federation and Cedar Valley 
Callers Association, this was the 22nd 
year for this event with another successful 
turnout of dancers and spectators. Next 
year’s event will be held on October 14, 
2012, so mark your calendars!
These gentleman helped with the calling and 
cueing  duties  for  the  22nd  annual  square 
dance  benet  for  Camp  Courageous.  They 
decided  to  pool  their  talents  for  a  “Grand 
Finale” as they share the duties of calling the 
last song of the day for the dancers.
Jim and Garnet Hoffner helped organize this 
year’s square dance benet. Jim helped with 
accepting donations at the door and Garnet 
shared in the calling duties. Many thanks to 
the Hoffners’ for  their years  of dedication  to 
this event.
Annual Square Dance Benefit a Big Hit!

Jeryl Bacon of Hopkinton 
died  Monday  morning, 
Oct.  24  at  the  age  of 
69.    I've  had  the  good 
fortune of knowing 
Chuck &  Jeryl  Bacon  for 
over  30-years.    Always 
referred  to  her  as  "Mrs. 
B".    Over  the  years 
they  were  very  good 
to  camp.    Never  a  time 
they did not help camp out, when help was 
needed.    Mrs.  B.  was  a  spirited,  wonderful 
lady,  who  lifted  the  spirits  of  those  around 
her.    A  hard  working,  dedicated  lady, 
who  loved  her  kids  and  grandkids....and 
husband.    Had  the  opportunity  to  stop  by 
the Triple C Convenience Store a while back 
and we had a wonderful visit and she sealed 
the visit with a hug...I never realized it would 
be our last visit.  Our sympathy goes out to 
her  husband,  Chuck,  and  children,  Crystal, 
Chop, Curt, and Callie and their families and 
friends.   We  will  sure miss her smiling face 
and fun personality.
T-shirts are ordered throughout the

A  big  thank  you  to  Dave  Tracey  (standing) 
for  inviting  Camp  Courageous  to  give  a 
program to the Manchester Rotary Club. The 
Manchester  Rotary  has  been  good  regular 
supporters of the camp and the Manchester 
Garage Sale for decades. In front of Dave is 
his sister, Mary Lou Tracey. Both have been 
very  involved  with  the  camp....as  was  their 
mother, who I fondly remember when she was 
in her 90s bringing Honorary Board Member 
Jackie  Snyder  items  for  the  Manchester 
Camp Garage Sale. Super group!
Thank you to Shirley Wiley and the Brandon 
Methodist  Church  for  inviting  Camp 
Courageous  to  their  after  school  program. 
The wonderful students collected a car load 
of items needed by the camp. Great group of 
students and adults!
Thank  you  to  the  wonderful  Hills Town  and 
Country  who  once  again  this  year  provided 
Camp Courageous with gifts for Santa to give

inviting camp and to all our dear friends who 
are members of this great group!
Mike  is  a  15  year  old  Hainger  gelding 
donated anonymously to camp this October. 
Mike is not only trained to give rides on his 
back, but also a very well trained cart horse. 
Mike has already given rides in camp's new 
horse cart, and he is a pro! Thanks so much 
to the family who donated this amazing horse 
to camp!

Laura has been coming to camp since 1990 
and has recently started traveling with our 
Travel Program where she visited  Kansas 
City, MO for a weekend this year.  
Tiffany  Dole  from  Des  Moines,  IA  loved 
swimming  in  camp's  indoor  pool  this  fall.  
Her  group  had  the  opportunity  to  swim 
several times during the week and Tiffany 
loved sitting and relaxing by the jets in the 
therapy pool.

Marian  Williams, 
83,  of  Dubuque 
recently  passed 
away. Marian was 
a  friend  for  over 
40-years. She was 
director of Retired 
Senior  Volunteer 
Services  (RSVP) 
and had them very 
involved  in  Camp 
Courageous.  She 
was  involved  with 
the  Agency  on  Aging  and  on  the  State 
Commission for the Blind. Always there to 
help  others,  we  have  dearly  missed  her 
many visits and acts of kindness at camp. 
Seldom  did  Marian  ever  miss  a  camp 
breakfast  or  other  special  occasions 
at  the  camp.  Our  sympathy  goes  out  to 
her children, Paul, Gary, and Mary Beth. 
Marian requested her memorials to go to 
Camp Courageous.
Lynn  Pierce,  an  employee  of  Scheels  in 
Cedar  Falls,  stands  by  a  large  donation  of 
misc. camping items, sport and game items, 
and  shing  items  donated  by  the  store.  
Scheels  has  been  very  good  to  camp  over 
the years, donating many things that campers 
can use during their stay.  In addition to the 
wonderful  Scheels  donations,  Lynn  and  his 
daughter Mindy Gilroy gave a large donation 
of  paper  products,  Chap  Stick,  soap,  and 
tooth brushes.  Many thanks to Scheels, Lynn 
and Mindy.
Camp was thrilled to have the Rachel Circle 
and Friends from the Brandon area volunteer 
again this year.  When these ladies come, they 
make a day of it!  Several donations from the 
camp's needs list  was also  delivered.  They 
worked  on  2  separate  large  mailings.    With 
their experience, it was done in record time!  It 
is always wonderful to see their familiar faces 
and a few new ones as well!
For those who have an IRA, 401K, or other 
types of retirement plans…
One  knows they are a great means to save tax-free for retirement. Generally, 
one does not pay taxes on the income one contributes, or on the earnings or 
appreciation the investments generates, until a withdraw is made. When one 
dies, these assets are taxable income to those individuals they are given to.
If you make a charitable contribution from an IRA or other retirement plan, 
the total amount designated to a charity, like Camp Courageous, goes to the 
charity tax-free. Appreciated and other assets that are not subject to income 
tax can be left to family and friends with no tax burden to them.
For more information on giving a gift to Camp Courageous that will give 
forever, please contact Charlie Becker at Camp Courageous at any time, 
7-days a week.
Thank you to our good friends at the National 
Park Service in Omaha, NE for giving Camp 
Courageous  the  opportunity  to  be  a  part  of 
a  Midwest  Regional  Discussion  Panel    on 
inclusion.  It was an great opportunity to learn 
more about our National Parks and their goal 
to be very inclusive.  Camp Courageous has 
visited  most  the  country's  National  Parks 
through the Travel Program and have always 
felt  camp  has  received  exceptional  service 
and care by the NPS Staff.
A  big  thank  you  to  Mel  Holubar  for  inviting 
camp  to  give  a  presentation  to  the  Marion 
Sunrisers Kiwanis Club. This group has been 
supporting camp since the very early years of 
the camp. These long time supporters meet 
at  the  Marion  Hy-Vee  and  have  traveled  to 
camp  on  numerous  occasions  to  donate 
items,  like  a  wonderful  youth  rst  aid  kit! 
A  great  group  to  join,  if  you  are  looking  for 
good and carrying folks. Members include (L-
R) Mel  Holubar, Mary Ellen  Wright, Carolyn 
Holubar, Nancy Domer, Norm Wright, Donna 
Bean,  Emil  Koval,  George  Domer,  and  Will 
Ogle.  Not  present  were  Don  Bean,  Jim  & 
Mildred Jessen, and Gordon Bowser.
Jerry Reichert was a wonderful camper who 
attended  Camp  Courageous,  almost  since 
the beginning.  In Jerry's memory, family and 
friends  gave  a  gift  to  the  camp's  perpetual 
fund,  so  Jerry's  memory  will  stay  alive,  for-
ever,  along  with  some of Jerry's  belongings 
and  a  beautiful  collage  of  Jerry's  activities 
over the years at camp.  Pictured are Howard 
Vanwinkle, Bill Blake, and Sandy Vanwinkle.
Camp  Courageous’  holiday  party  for  staff 
was catered by the Marion Hy-Vee...manager 
of food service, Dien X. Nguyen and Andrea 
Gates.  They  did  an  exceptional  job!  Their 
dedication  and  love  for  their  work  shined 
through and they were a big hit with the staff! 
They are wonderful to camp the year round.

Marginal Note: Kindness, like a towel, is needed at once. If you have to wait for it, you won’t need it.
“A volunteer is not paid, not 
because they are worthless, but 
because they are priceless.”

Thanks  to  the  Legacy  Basketball  Academy 
coaches and players for helping out at camp. 
They  helped  with  the  Pancake  Breakfast  in 
September, and came back later on in the fall 
to help with grounds cleanup at the new lake 
area. We look forward to having the Legacy 
group help out at camp again in the future. 
Thanks  to  UNI 
student  Haley 
Harms who 
volunteered 
as  a  respite 
care  counselor 
this  fall.  Haley 
volunteered  as 
part of her social 
work class. 
Pictured are University of Iowa Physical 
Thearpy  students  (L-R)  Jess  Rients, 
Natti  Tipayamongkol,  Natalia  Lawson,

It was great to have physical 
therapy students from the 
University of Iowa helping again 
this fall at Camp Courageous. 
The students come to camp as 
part of their service learning 
class. They work as volunteer 
counselors during respite care 
weekends. 
Once  again  Dennis  Smith  of  Audubon, 
IA  returned  to  volunteer  a  week  of  his 
time  to  Camp  Courageous.  For  the  past 
several years  he’s been a  great  help  in  the 
Maintenance  and  Dietary  departments. 
Thank you,  Dennis,  and we look  forward  to 
next summer’s week with you!
Camp  welcomes  volunteer  Molly  Tabor. 
Molly is taking part of the Community Service 
Program through the Monticello Community 
Schools.  She  is  volunteering  in  the  ofce 
every  other  afternoon  doing  various  tasks. 
Although  Molly  is  new  to  the  ofce,  she  is 
no  stranger  to  camp.  She  helped  with  the 
camp swimming lessons program last winter. 
Thanks Molly!
Mary  Louise  Caponette  from  Muscatine 
scheduled  a  tour  of  camp  for  some  of  the 
ladies  from  St.  Mary’s  and  St.  Matthias 
parishes.  They  visited  on  a  beautiful  fall 
morning and enjoyed the tour and lunch with 
the campers! Only 2 of the ladies had been 
to  camp  previously,  so  it  was  wonderful  to 
show them all camp has to offer. Camp was 
delighted to have them as guests and hope 
they make a return visit.

“Choo,  choo...choo, 
choo!”    Camper  Matt 
McElroy chanted over 
and over the morning 
his  group  got  to  ride 
the  train.    He  loved 
every  minute!    He 
is  pictured  proudly

You can make a financial gift to the camp using the 
form on the back page of this newsletter.  Payment can 
be made with a personal check or credit card (VISA, 
MasterCard, or Discover). In general, donations to the 
camp will be tax deductible to many. However, you 
will need to contact your tax advisor to determine the 
deductibility of your contributions. You can make your 
gift in memory of or in honor of an individual(s) or 
occasion.  An acknowledgement about your gift can be 
sent to the individual(s) if you provide an address.
Volunteering
Nothing is more valuable and appreciated than your 
time. Help is needed from cutting grass to working 
with campers. Individuals, groups, and organizations 
are welcome. Please contact Shannon Poe, Volunteer 
Director, by e-mail at spoe@campcourageous.org or by 
phone at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2320 for information on 
how you or your group can volunteer at the camp.
Pool Blocks
The Camp Courageous indoor pool was built one block 
at a time.  It is one of the more popular activities for the 
campers.  You can help support this activity by buying a 
pool block for $1,000.  Your name, or the wording of your 
choice, will be put on the block as a lasting reminder of 
your gift to the camp.

Lake Todd Project
A 30-acre land acquisition has allowed for the 
construction of a lake at Camp Courageous. By having 
a lake at the camp, time and resources will be saved by 
not having to transport campers and staff to another 
lake that is 20 minutes away.
You can help defray the costs of constructing Lake 
Todd by contributing towards this project. A plaque will 
display the names or wording of choice for all $1,000 
donors. Use the form on the back of this newsletter. For 
more information contact Charlie Becker at 319-465-
5916, ext. 2100 or e-mail charlie @campcourageous.org.

Tom and Nan Riley donated a train to camp to thrill 
thousands of campers!  The track and depot are installed 
and built.  Many camp and/or train enthusiasts have 
asked, “How can we help?”  We will continue to have 
workdays for landscaping around the track and depot. 
You can also contribute to cover the ongoing 
operational costs as well as future expansion of the 
train. The name, or the wording of choice, will appear on 
the plaque in the depot for all $1,000 donors.  Use the 
donation form on the back page of this newsletter.  For 
more information about the plaques you can contact 
Charlie Becker at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2100, or send him 
an e-mail at charlie@campcourageous.org.

Do you sell on eBay?  You can donate 
a percentage of your auctions to the 
camp through eBay’s Mission Fish 
program.  10% to 100% of your auction 
can go to Camp Courageous automatically.
It’s a great way to promote your auctions since visitors 
will see (through a special icon) that part of their payment 
goes to a great charity. To participate, simply use the 
charity option as you list your items on eBay. For additional 
details and information you can visit eBay and click on the 
“Giving Works” link on their home page.

Where is Camp Courageous located?
The camp is located ve miles south of Monticello, 
Iowa off Highway 38 or 151. The camp lies on 80 acres 
of wooded land surrounded by thousands of acres of 
state primitive land and the Maquoketa River. Use US 
Highway 151 exit 65, turn south on Hwy 38, then east 
on 190th Street (all hard-surfaced roads).
How can I help?
Camp  Courageous  continues  to  operate 
on donations,  without  government assistance, 
without  formal  sponsorship,  and  without  paid 
fund-raisers.  What this means is that everything 
that is given to the Camp, goes directly to benet 
the  campers.    One  of  the  reasons  the  Camp 
has grown  from serving  211  campers in  1974 
to over 5,000 campers today, is the incredible 
dedication  of  volunteers.    Volunteer  help  is 
needed  in  virtually  every  aspect  of  the  camp.  
Please  consider  volunteering  your  time  and 
talents to Camp Courageous.
Where can I get more info?
Please  visit  the  camp’s  web  site  at 
www.campcourageous.org
,  call  the  camp  at 
319-465-5916,  or  stop  out  for  a  tour  to  see 
rst-hand how the camp has grown over the 
past many years.

Randy Leonard 
shows off the 
“Go-Getter” 
Award  made 
especially  for 
him during his 
week  at  camp.  
As  the  award 
states,  he  was 
full  of  ambition, 
positivity,  energy 
and  drive.  It 
is  always  a 
pleasure to have 
Randy  spend  a 
week  at  camp..  
He  has  been 
coming from the  Clear Lake,  IA area  since 
1981  and  we  look  forward  to  his  future 
week-long camps in the coming years.
